Mormons get double dose of growing religious intolerance

MR says: The irony is that many of those in faith communities who consider themselves persecuted in today’s society, seem to feel totally justified in being intolerant and assuming the role of the persecutor of other faiths with whom they have doctrinal differences.

A report published Monday by The Liberty Institute and Family Research Council “…catalogs the growing hostility towards religious expression right here in the U.S.” The report further states that religious groups are “…facing a relentless onslaught by well-funded and aggressive groups and individuals who are using the courts, congress and the vast federal bureaucracy to suppress and limit religious freedom."

Beyond the report’s findings of general intolerance, its seems that the Mormon faith faces additional attacks and persecution most frequently from fellow believers in ultra conservative Christian faiths.
